Alternatively, a solid state drive in an external enclosure?
I have an Intel SSD 40Gb and I am wondering if I can use a USB 2.5 "external enclosure. I do not want to use as a startup disk, just to carry out programs to install on other systems to keep. Thanks. @ Shukui: All SSDs are SATA ... and it will be great if some external USB 3 will be.
As long as your enclosure is SATA compatible, there is absolutely no reason why you can not use an SSD in an external housing, abandoned will write and read performance, because when it's over USB 2.0 limits you to the specifications of the standard, although if you use the opportunity to eSATA You will definitely look more speed, though whether you'll never forget the true power of an SSD as the external.
